Photographer's Note

I don't normally take "black hour" photos. But I just couldn't go past this fountain without unpacking my gear and taking a shot. Plus the floodlit city wall to a certain extend makes up for the lack of blue sky

There are many parks in Baku which is rather difficult to guess from my previous posts showing mainly glass, concrete or marble as well as the old Walled City.

Hello Kasia
excellent viewpoint and capture of this fountain. I like how you have managed to get the sense of movement just right without losing any of the detail in both the fg and in the distance too. An accomplished execution and delightfully presented shot.

Hello Kasia,
This wall is the first thing so far that I recognize from any of your photos from Baku, but I have no idea if I saw it anywhere near this place. The fountain doesn't ring a bell. But it's a good photo with fine details of the fountain and an "exotic" atmosphere created by the light on the wall under the dark sky. The ws photos are nice too, but again totally unkown places. I regret that I couldn't stay there for at least a couple of days.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Kasia,your pics are always a step ahead,very nice 2 WS,but this main post is truly fantastic! What a top qualty of exposure to show us the best detail and colors of the wall in background and to create this magic silk effect on the water,very very well done!! Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Zdravo draga Kasia. Intricately decorated fountain is bettered by your POV/composition where you turned the running water into silver filigree decorations. Nice contrast between the cooler feel of the foreground and the warmer background. Pozdrav iz daleke Australije. Klaudio.

Hi Kasia.
Superb POV, showing us a great source plane, envisioning the details of their three cups, ideal as highlight their jets at night and lit the bottom of the wall.
A splendid color that enhances the image.
Very good brightness and sharpness.
Well seen and done better.
Have a happy weekend.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Hello Kasia,
This is a dynamic picture of the fountain. I do like the close framing at the bottom which makes me feel that I am nearly standing in the fountain. Very well managed light and I love the black BG.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hi Kasia!
We don't see many photos of this country here and it's really a pity. Don't worry about the blue hour, the photo is excellent. The exposure is perfect and you captured really well the details of the fountain. The old wall is a good background.

A superb nocturnal shot of the fountain with good sharpness and excellent graphism. Nice motion blur of the water jets & well composed using the rule of thirds. The illuminated bg wall adds a welcpme splash of colour to the shot. Good density levels also. Tfs!
